"I can't comment on that," his attorney, Larry James, said yesterday, acknowledging the NCAA's
power to request such records if it has good cause.

But James did address a couple of allegations that have been made by some media outlets about
Pryor's finances. The reports center on his relationship with Dennis Talbott, a local businessman
and part-time photographer and memorabilia purveyor.

One report alleged Pryor deposited several checks from Talbott while another alleged he received
tens of thousands of dollars in cash from Talbott for autographing various memorabilia the past
couple of years.

"I can tell you on the record that there were no checks from Dennis Talbott in any Terrelle
Pryor bank account," James said. "And there was no money from Dennis Talbott to Terrelle
Pryor."

There apparently won't be any checks to Pryor's account from the Saskatchewan Roughriders,
either. The Canadian Football League team informed James on Wednesday that it had negotiating
rights to the him should he opt to play there.

"Terrelle simply said he wasn't interested," James said.

Pryor has not commented publicly since deciding to forgo his senior year. He did that Tuesday in
the face of an ongoing NCAA investigation into whether he received improper benefits beyond those
for which he received a five-game suspension for the 2011 season. Pryor was one of six Buckeyes who
sold memorabilia and/or received discounted tattoos.

But James said he understands why his client turned down the offer from Saskatchewan.

"The bottom line is he plans to go to the NFL, and that's his call," James said. "He plans to
hire a trainer and a quarterbacks coach and become the best quarterback he can be.

"He just said today, 'It's the NFL.' That's where he's headed."

Whether he is declared eligible for a supplemental draft, probably in July, remains to be seen,
since he left the Buckeyes on his own accord without being declared ineligible.

There also is the question of whether he plans to stay in Columbus as he continues to train.
James said Pryor likely has no plans to continue to use the football facilities at Ohio State.

"In his mind I think he wants to go to a place where it's all about his conditioning and getting
his mind set," James said. "I wouldn't think (Ohio State) would be the most conducive place for him
to really get everything he needs to get going."

Asked yesterday whether Pryor had been told he should plan to train elsewhere, Ohio State coach
Luke Fickell said "(I) haven't talked to him."

Fickell, named the interim coach May 30 to replace Jim Tressel, who resigned under pressure in
the wake of the ongoing NCAA investigation, will have his first formal news conference Monday.

As for Pryor, he also will have to start speaking for himself soon since James is a local
attorney who does not fancy himself as a pro agent.

"At this point we are getting pretty close to finishing up what we needed to do for him, and
then he probably is going to hire an agent to handle all of the upcoming stuff," James said.
